Indonesian maid jailed in Singapore for adding urine

An Indonesian maid who mixed her urine with the drinking water in a kettle and a water jug at her employer's unit was jailed for four weeks on Tuesday.

Sri Aryati, 26, had earlier admitted to committing mischief at the flat at Block 222 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 on Dec 15, one week after she had started work.

The court heard that the maid had taken a ceramic cup to contain some of her urine in the kitchen toilet.

She then poured the urine into the kettle and water jug containing water meant for household consumption.

Queried by District Judge Shaifuddin Saruwan, a police prosecutor said the employer's father-in-law and young son drank the mixture, and were none the worse.

Sri Aryati could have been jailed for up to one year and/or fined for the offense.
